Adam Carolla

And, you know, he agreed to it five years earlier to his detriment.

But being number one and being pulled out of your slot just always seems like there's nowhere to go but down from there.

I mean, if you think about it.

If you really like, you know, you won the Super Bowl last year.

Now let's fire the coaching staff.

I my initial reaction when this whole thing was coming, you know, a year ago, a couple of years ago was to say.

Leno was doing gangbusters ratings at the time, or at least he was number one.

The five years passed in the wink of an eye, and now all of a sudden they're left with the situation or the decision to toss off a guy who's number one in his time slot.

I said at the time, postpone it.

I know it sounds like more of the same, but I would have given...

Conan, you know, $10 million of, you know, us a culpa money.

We fucked up.

Give us two more years and then Jace and then Jace gone.

I guess they do.

I talked to my James Babydoll Dixon, our agent, about it.

You know, he says now they don't have to pay him now.

It is funny that I have to sort of explain things every once in a while to the people who know.

He said, no, once they made that deal, they said they made that deal.

I said, baby doll, there must have been something in place.

Otherwise, they would make the deal, take the $40 million off the table, and then the next day they could fire him.
